Dr. Uday Kant Misra, “Barely had I finished reading the fourth issue of ‘Kalyan’, a monthly publication, when on page 613 I came across some crucial information:

The 17,50,000 years old Sri Rameshwaram bridge's satellite image was exhibited in 1993 at the renowned Pragati Maidan of Delhi.

The show was organised by the National Science Centre and its Director ascertains that the above image was initially shot by American satellite Gemini-11 on 14th Dec, 1966. Later on after a span of 22 years another satellite, IRS1A, also endorsed it s existence. Houston's Johnson Space Centre dispatched these pictures to India’s National Remote Sensing Agency ( NRSA ) through the highly reputed NASA.

Thus I fully support the public demand of Tamil Nadu and Lord Rama’s devotees of various other States that instead of destruction , the Government of India should concentrate on spending money in constructive work; namely school-education, potable water, nutritious food, clothing, roads, good hospitals, electricity or in building new bridges, dams and power –projects.
